It is very odd. I've asked the user to input their name, but when they type it in, they can't see it appear immediately on the screen.

I haven't touched the background (colourback is default, GUI.SetBackgroundColour hasn't been used at all) and the text should be black [colour(black) before the get statement]

code:
loop
    setscreen("cursor")
    Font.Draw("Your name?",320,400,fontArial,black)
    Font.Draw("Name: ",200,350,fontTimes,black)
    View.Update %It's here to deal with code above that I haven't shown
    locatexy(250,350)
    colour(black)
    get n : *
   
    Pic.Draw(portrait,50,50,picCopy)
    Font.Draw(n + ", is this correct?",200,100,fontTimes,black)
    View.Update
    locatexy(200,85)
    get answer
    exit when answer = "yes" or answer = "y"
    end loop


I know that the program needs to View.Update after a character is put in (because I can type in a character, switch screens, and when I come back, the text will appear). However, I don't know how I can do this.

if you need to input something just take off offscreenonly
View.Set("nooffscreenonly")

That still wouldn't work if "nooffscreenonly" isn't in place. Confused

Bloody double negatives. Okay, that means: That still wouldn't work if "offscreenonly" is in place. Heh, yes it would.
